Empowering communities towards sustainability
Cova’s Circuit Rider Model
To ensure sustainable results and long-term success, Cova Circuit Rider Water Technicians routinely travel to rural communities across Central America to provide training, capacity building, technical assistance, and water quality monitoring support to community water boards through a three-phase approach.
Each Circuit Rider creates a monthly circuit among 50-60 communities, guaranteeing customers always have safe drinking water. Through Cova-led training and capacity building, communities move from Phase 1 to Phase 3, assuming increasing responsibilities required to maintain and operate their water system. Cova Circuit Riders remain available to communities for technical assistance and further capacity building as needed. Moving communities from Phase 1 to Phase 3 allows a Circuit Rider to support an additional 150 communities.
